    This is a powerful visualisation activity to reduce anxiety. Dr. Maxwell Maltz,in his book Psycho-Cybernetics, reports that mentally performing skill-developing activities is nearly the same as the actual performance. For

    example, a person practising throwing darts mentally improves his aim asmuch as a person actually darts. In an experiment, Dr. Maltz reported that agroup of students who practised 20 minutes sinking basketball free throwsevery day improved their scoring by 24 percent. Another group of studentswho practised the same skill in their imagination improved by 23 percent.

    C.G. Kop, a recognised authority on teaching piano, recommends that allpianists practise in their heads. What is the relevance of this information

    to you? If you want to reduce anxiety on the day of the examination, youshould:

    mentally visualise yourself sitting calmly for the test.

    see yourself place in the examination centre.

    see the invigilators distributing the examination booklets to the candidates.

    hear the chief invigilator giving the instruction to begin writing.

    see yourself writing calmly and without anxiety.

    at all times, see yourself being calm and happy.

    Allocate 10 to 20 minutes daily to practise this visualisation exercise until the day of the

    examination and see if it works for you.

    Read the 2 newspaper articles on landmark cases in dishonesty and answerthe questions below.

    Article 1

    Hwang Woo-Suk was a professor at Seoul National University. He became famous afterclaiming a series of remarkable achievements in the field of stem cell research. Hwangfirst caught media attention in South Korea when he announced that he hadsuccessfully created a cloned dairy cow in February 1999. Hwangs next claim came 2

    months later in April 1999, when he announced the cloning of a Korean cow, Jin-i. Onboth occasion he did not provide any scientically verifiable data. Even though the

    validity of his research could not be examined, Hwangs claims were well received bythe SK media and public.

    In 3 August 2005, Hwang announced that his team of researchers had become the firstteam to successfully clone a dog. The dog, an Afghan Hound, was named Snuppy.Shortly after his so-called groundbreaking 2005 work, Hwang was appointed to headthe new World Stem Cell Hub, a facility that was to be the worlds leading stem cell

    research centre.

    But months later, he and his team were embroiled in controversy. Hwang was forcedto admit that female researchers in his own lab had supplied eggs for his research.Subsequently, 2 of his key scientific papers published in Science Magazine, werefound to have been fabricated. In the paper published in February 2004, he claimedthat he had created the worlds first cloned human embryos. In the May 2005 paper, he

    claimed he had created 11 stem cell lines from patients- each tailored to thatindividual.

    On 23 December, 2005 Hwang apologised for creating a shock and a

    On 9 February, 2006, the university suspended Hwangs position as the

    universitys professor, together with 6 other faculty members who

    Kaavya Viswanathan is an Indian-American undergraduate student in Harvard.In April 2006, Kaavyas first novel, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and

    Got a Life, was published. Shortly after publication, the Harvard crimson

    published allegations that the author had lifted materials from 2 novels byMegan Mccafferty.

    On April, 2006, The Harvard Crimson reported that several portions of How OpalMehta Got Kissed, Got Wild andGot a Lifeappeared to have been taken fromSloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, both written by Megan McCafferty.In a

    statement issued by her publisher, Viswanathan admitted she accidentallyborrowed some passages from Megan McCaffertys novels. The subsequentnational publicity led her publisher, Little, Brown and Company, to withdraw alleditions of the book and stop plans by Dream Works SKG to develop the bookinto a movie.

    Viswanathan began writing Opal Mehta while attending Bergen County

    Academics, a public high school in New Jersey. After receiving an earlyacceptance to Harvard, she showed her work to her private college admissionsadviser, Katherine Cohen. Cohen contacted the William Morris agency, whichsuggested that Viswanathan work with a division of Alloy Entertainment.Viswanathan eventually signed a two-book deal with Little, Brown and Companyfor an advance originally reported to be $500,000. Michael Pietsch, the seniorvice president and publisher of little, Brown, told the New York Times that the

    advance was less than the reported sum, and was split between Kaavya andAlloy Entertainment. She sold the movie rights to the book to Dream Works.

    As of 27 April, Little, Brown has recalled all copies of the novel and hascancelled Viswanathans UK publicity tour. Though the publishing house

    initially indicated plans to release a revised version of the novel, these planswere soon cancelled. Finally,, DreamWorks has halted development of the

    movie.

    On 2 May, 2006, Michael Pietsch, Little, Browns senior vice president,

    released a statement sayingthat Little, Brown and Company will not bepublishing a revised edition of How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Gota Life by Kaavya Viswanathan, as well as the second book under contract.

    The following are findings of a survey on AI undertaken by Don McCabe from theCentre for AI (CAI). Read the findings carefully and answer the questions below.

    As part of CAIs Assessment Project, almost 50,000 undergraduates on more than

    60 campuses have participated in a nationwide survey of AI since the fall of 2002.The most recent results (released in June 2005) are disturbing, provocative, andchallenging.

    o On most campuses, 70% of students admit to some cheating. Close to one-quarter of the participating students admitted to serious test cheating in the past

    year and half admitted to one or more instances of serious cheating on writtenassignments.

    o Academic honor codes effectively reduce cheating. Surveys conducted in 1990,1995 and 1999, involving over 12,000 students on 48 different campuses,demonstrate the impact of honor codes and student involvement in the control ofacademic dishonesty. Serious test cheating on campuses with honor codes is

    typically 1/3 to lower than the level on campuses that do not have honor codes.The level of serious cheating on written assignments is to 1/3 lower.

    Internet plagiarism is a growing concern on all campuses as students struggleto understand what constitutes acceptable use of the Internet.

    Faculty are reluctant to take action against suspected cheaters.

    Longitudinal comparisons show significant increases in serious test/examcheating and unpermitted student collaboration.

    Studies of 18,000 students at 61 schools, conducted in the last 4 years, suggestcheating is also a significant problem in high school.
